Just got off a call doing some classic "I know you are not tech support but please help me connect my iPhone to my computer", and I heard the following words:

"What's the Windows start button?"

This was not a boomer. This was not a Gen Y, Gen X, or even Millenial!

I shit you not, a zoomer did not know what or where the windows start button was.

I love the "technically-challenged" tag.

Maybe they were using Win 8 in tablet mode

Even after all these years, when my wife calls me and has an issue

Me: "Click start"

Her: "Click what? Start what?"

Me: "The icon on the bottom left."

Her: "OK...the little window looking thingy. Where I shut down. Why don't you call it that?"

MS had removed the word "Start" from that button a long time ago because it isn’t really about starting something. It’s more like a "everything that a basic user needs" menu button. And it also contains the shut down function which is probably the function that the start button is used for the most.
I don’t know how MS refers to that button now. Maybe Windows button. But this was definitely a good thing to change.

@Demolishun holy shit you are right. Never noticed it.
